The public safety plan received a mixed response among council members.

Councilman Mike Brown, who is also the chair of the group's public safety committee, says he wants to support the mayor's and his policing plan, but thought it lacked detail.

"I had hoped that the plan would provide information about the need to make officers more visible in the community, for them to exit their vehicles and walk through neighborhoods to learn who the people are and what their crime problems are," Brown says.
